Can @types/electron be removed as a devDependency?

See original GitHub issue

I’m pulling ngx-electron into my project as a dependency, which has a dependency on @types/electron, which appears to have a dependency on electron. This causes my Angular app’s node_modules to have a complete electron distribution in it, which it never uses. However, when I then use electron-builder, it dutifully pulls it in. According to this (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/electron), there is no reason to include @types/electron anymore. Should it be removed entirely?

thanks for the offer. I’ve just published 1.0.3 on npmjs perhaps can you try it in your scenario / build. I’ve tested and verified functionality with @angular/cli based samples.
